Special Discounted Rate to attend The Conference Board's annual Strategic Sourcing Supplier Relationship Management Conference for SupplyChainBrain Readers

January 23, 2014

March 11-12, 2014

Regents Hall, Lewis Towers at Loyola University, Chicago, IL

Organizations across the world have some form of supplier management program in place with varying degrees of success.  The discrepancies in the results achieved is traditionally due to the fact that the sourcing strategy employed is not truly strategic in nature and tied to the overall business goals of the organization.  Often, traditional sourcing practices seek to reduce costs while also trying to leverage suppliers to obtain the greatest value from their engagements through innovation, resources and knowledge.  These polarizing goals can create challenges in obtaining the desired results, but when a strategic program is in place, along with an enterprise wide change in the way we view suppliers, vast new opportunities and value can be realized that goes beyond the terms and conditions of the contract. 

During The Conference Board's 2014 Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Relationship Management Conference (http://www.conference-board.org/supplierrelations) leading practitioners from a diverse group of companies who will share how they have been able to bridge the gap between competitive cost pressures and the desire to foster collaborative partnerships with suppliers to deliver step changing value creations to the business in a long-term and sustainable way.

The event will begin with a half day pre-conference morning workshop on March 11th titled "Change and Stakeholder Management: Essential Tools for Realizing True Value through Collaboration".   The main conference will commence the afternoon of March 11th where you will expand and capitalize on the knowledge of trends and best practices in supplier management as well as:

  • Embed SRM into the DNA of the organization to overcome the internal barriers to success
  • Learn how to use supplier management to optimally balance competitive cost pressures with collaborative engagement across the supply base
  • Ensure your corporate culture is collaborative and not combative when working with suppliers
  • Master performance measurement and metrics to ensure the results desired are the results achieved
  • Gain the ability to partner with business leaders to deliver innovations and savings through supplier relationship management and effective sourcing/procurement execution

Senior executives from world class organizations will share their thinking. Presenters include:
